CR - August Heat, Andrea Camilleri

My next up book should be a thriller (Hunter by Chris Allen) but I've read a few of those recently so sort of felt a bit of a head clearer might be an idea. So what better a) to clear your head and b) to hide from the seasonal insanity that seems to foist itself on you at this time of the year than a good dose of grumpy.

From the Blurb:

When a colleague extends his summer vacation, Inspector Salvo Montalbano is forced to stay in Vigàta and endure the August heat. Montalbano's long-suffering girlfriend, Livia, joins him with a friend-husband and young son in tow-to keep her company during these dog days of summer. But when the boy suddenly disappears into a narrow shaft hidden under the family's beach rental, Montalbano, in pursuit of the child, uncovers something terribly sinister. As the inspector spends the summer trying to solve this perplexing case, Livia refuses to answer his calls-and Montalbano is left to take a plunge that will affect the rest of his life.
